Life may be tough,but it’s okay



One day I was walking, and I stumbled upon a rock,
And when I did ,I experienced a moment of shock.
First I thought that it was a piece of rusted metal,
Then I got up and took some time to settle.

I tried to take a look at it ,filled with fear,
But when I looked closer , it was much clear.
I had overthinked , so I worried what it would do or what it was,
Well I have to say that it’s my loss.

Then there was this time I got distracted while crossing the road ,
And there was a truck coming ,carrying a lot of load.
The driver kept honking to get my attention,
And when he did ,I saw the truck, and I was in great tension.

But suddenly a woman pulled me aside,
If she hadn’t ,for heaven,I would’ve rented a ride.
One time I saw a cat ,sitting in front of the manhole, right in the porch,
On seeing it my heart lit like a torch .

As I ran towards it with my happy soul,
I slipped and my left leg fell into the manhole.
The moment you was falling ,I thought to the worse,
Then I took a moment , so that my life I could curse.

Luckily it was only my left leg,
And  yes, it was not because for my life I had to beg.
Struggling a lot ,I tried to pull myself out of it,
And I was very scared , that is got to admit.

I saw that it was just a simple little scratch,
That I can’t believe,I overthink , and worse  ideas in my mind hatch.
There are many examples you can see ,
And all of them are mainly about me.

But at the end of the day this shows that,
These little experiences add extra feather to your hat.
Similarly it goes to show that life has many ups and down,
But for that you need not frown.

Solution is behind every sort of problem,
And when you face them , you shan’t be solemn.
You won’t even know how many days your sorrows will last,
For all of these day go by so fast.

And everyday you should be filled with happiness!
And to make life much fun ,you shouldn’t show your tardiness.
